It wasn’t a massive IT error. They listed around 15 cars into ‘New Inventory’ which were around £10k less than the £47k usual list price.

There y'go. 20%+ pricing disparity counts as an obvious error, so - yes - even without any specific get-out, they have every right to cancel.

£10k (20%) is sufficiently significant that the error would have been "apparent".
It would still not mean selling at a loss.
It is also a trouble with the "dynamic" pricing that everything seems to have these days.

Doesn't hold out much hope for the car, which is heavily influenced by technology, is manufactured by a company that cannot get the price right due to information and technology error.

Someone keyed in the wrong price, by your logic, don't hold out much hope for any car, which is heavily influenced by people, is manufactured by a company that employs humans

It wasn't an IT error then, it was human error.

In my many years experience in IT the human element is always the weak link in any IT system. IT systems on their don't make errors.
